Daniel Defense A1.5 Rear Sight

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Daniel Defense set out to design a simple and reliable Back Up Iron Sight and they have more than succeeded with the A1.5 BUIS. The BUIS integrates the M16A1-style windage and elevation adjustments with a same plane small and ghost ring aperture. Once you adjust them, they are staying put.

The BUIS is manufactured from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum and mounts to a 1913 standard rail. It slides on and locks in place via a slotted fastener which is threaded into a self-locking steel thread insert. Once it’s on, it isn’t going anywhere. The BUIS is fixed so no need to worry about it popping up at the wrong time or thin parts breaking off. Additionally, the BUIS was designed to not interfere with the charging handle.

Larry Vickers summed it all up when he said this about the BUIS, “Finally a rear sight that has everything you need and nothing you don’t”.

Smith & Wesson Model 500 Emergency Survival Revolver

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Smith & Wesson has assembled a survival kit containing the things that will keep you alive and one item often overlooked; a gun.

Smith & Wesson Model 500 Emergency Survival Revolver

The centerpiece of the kit is a Smith & Wesson Model 500, 2 3/4″ Barrel with Bright Orange HogueÂ® recoil reducing grip. The kit comes packed in a waterproof StormÂ® Case and contains:
– Blast Matchâ„¢ Firestarter and WetFire tender
– Saber Cutâ„¢ Saw with fabric sheath
– Jet Screamâ„¢ whistle
– Star Flashâ„¢ signal mirror
– PolarisÂ® compass
– Two MPI Mylar SpaceÂ® Emergency Blankets
– Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops Liner Lock Folding Knife with Black Sheath
– “Bear Attacks of the Century – True Stories of Courage and Survival” book by Larry Mueller and Marguerite Reiss

Too bad they didn’t have one of these in the movie, “The Edge”. The book would have been most insightful.

The Survival Kit is available from Midwest Hunter Outlet.

TNVC SAR-3PS

Monday, March 30th, 2009

TNVC SAR-3PS

TNVC has released a new thin ring SAR-3PS unit that is only 1/4″ wide (ring portion) to fit in very tight spots. Naturally, the “S” at the end of the mount name denotes slim. The slim unit was designed since so many rings take up a lot of real estate on the primary scope and can be difficult to fit properly. Just like the already successful SAR-3P it is a 30mm design. TNVC also offers a SAR-4 which features a 34mm ring.

TNVC SA-3PS Mounted on AR

Prior to the new slim design, the SAR-3P improved on the earlier SAR-3 as it has one Picatinny slot cut into the center slot and the rest is Weaver. The SAR-3P is also a 1/4″ shorter than the previous SAR-3.

To order, visit Tactical Night Vision Corporation. As always, TNVC has some great package deals on offer.

10-8 Performance Magazine Base Pad for S&W M&P

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Anyone who owns a S&W M&P knows that the stock magazine base plates are less than ideal. Machined from aluminum which eliminates cracking and breakage seen with plastic pads, these S&W M&P base pads are works of art. A lot of thought was put into the design including a shortened front to provide a more positive index in the hand during reloads. This also eliminates the snagging of mags in adjacent pouches. Additionally, the plate is scalloped on the front and sides to provide purchase for the extraction of stuck magazines. Finally, dimples on bottom allow for the marking of magazines. Available for the .45 and 9/.40.

Available from 10-8 Performance.
